ShardAce Cataclysm

Description: Button goodness for Warlocks which can be placed near your minimap.

Some basic useful hints:

Options to setup the addon is in the "Addons" tab in the World of Warcraft menu. (Interface/Addons)

Left click (or right click) on the Shard counter button to bring out the flyout buttons for Warlock specific spells to use. Left click (or right click) on the Shard counter button to close the flyout rows.

Select your target and right click on the Soulstone button to Soulstone a target.

Right click on the Healthstone button to create a Healthstone. Left click to use the Healthstone.

-- Added in fixes for strata.
-- Fixed errors for low level Warlocks hovering over the Healthstone and Soulstone buttons.

1.09

-- Changed Soulstone timer back to 15 minutes.
-- Changed the self message from "RAID" to "SAY".
-- Removed strata for the buttons until a better way is found.

1.08

-- Fixed Empower timer

1.07

-- Fixed spelling mistakes, thanks Ravynne.
-- HOPEFULLY removed all the old useless code :)
-- For positioning the main buttons, changed the description to include "cursor".

1.06

-- Changed the name of the addon.
-- Added in Ravynee's fix to set strata for the buttons.

1.05

-- Thanks to Ravynne for adding the Soulshard count and a new button icon.
-- Changed the layout of flyout buttons so they make alittle bit more sense.
-- Added grayouts for Doomguard and Infernal. (They both gray out since they share the same cooldown.)
-- Added grayouts for SoulWell and Summoning Portal (Right now they gray out if you just cast the spell and nobody clicks on it, but it's better than not having them do it at all.)
-- Other small misc. changes to code cleanup.

1.04

-- Fixed a small boo-boo for the 3rd row not showing the right icons for the spell selected.
-- Updated TOC

1.03

-- Fixed Soul Harvest cooldown so it grays out when on cooldown.
-- Added Soulburn to the flyout buttons.
-- Changed position of the Felguard on the flyout buttons.

In case you missed it on the front page for the description of the addon.

I highly recommend downloading the addon SoulSpeak and use the message system included in there for Warlocks. It's much more versatile than the one included in this addon, and honestly the message system on ShardAceCata has been a bit broken for awhile and I will be removing it soon.

Originally posted by Kyrgune I just noticed this happening in my raid last night as well, seems to only happen on boss fights if I'm correct yes? I noticed once it was over Shardace would go off the list. Did this happen with previous versions of the addon as well?

I don't recall if the original shardace had this much garbage or not. I notice the problem on zoning while soloing (though not as badly) and majorly while in raids, after boss fights or wipes.

Originally posted by Tinuviel Making another request for reducing the amount of garbage this addon generates. It seems to do at least 50 kb/sec. By the end of a boss encounter in my 25 man raids, I'm dealing with 8 megs of garbage from this addon.

Originally posted by Kyrgune I just took a look at the original Shardace and your right, maybe if I can look in the old code I can find out how to do it. I'm not sure how much has changed since then though (from DemonDameon & ShardAceWOTLK). I am not an lua expert, but I'll see what i can do.

Thanks, I had a look myself to see if I could help but quickly realized the code was way over my head

Originally posted by ObscureScience The original Shardace had this function, that's why I asked.
Oh well, can't please everyone.

I don't see a need for the Soulstone message to go into a custom channel, it defaults to raid/party/say as it is.

This is a simple addon that I wanted to continue when it broke awhile back, and with the help of others it has lived on. The addon as it is now does what it's supposed to do and I don't want to go away from the original idea.

I thank everyone who supports this addon, and I'll do my best to keep it going strong.

Originally posted by ObscureScience I have a request. Can you make it so we can announce the soulstone in a custom channel?

Hello all, I am back from my vacation. I'll start looking at what I can do to get the Soulstone messages working again.

**Update**

1.11 is up and fixes the SoulStone messages to party/raid and yourself. Right now if you soulstone yourself and don't actually target your character it'll say something like, "Soulstone cast on <no target>". This is just a quick fix to get the messages working again, I'll look at it more later. Myself I'd rather not even have it tell anyone that you Soulstoned yourself.

**End Update**

Belthias, the options for Shardace are in the "interface" menu in World of Warcraft under "addons".

been a warlock since beta, with a few wow breaks. started again for cata and of course, most "old" addons diddnt work no more. so i found shard ace cataclysm and love it so far.

thanks for the work and addon.

however, something eludes me and I hope you can help.
How can I setup stuff like the position of the buttons or key settings? looking at the mod files it seems there is even a menu for the options... well, wouldnt matter too much, if I only can use commands, Ill make it work. But I need to know the commands or how to get into the options first. Ive tried /sa /sac /shardace /shardacecata and many more variatons, none of them seem to work.

(a short readme with some hints of how to customize the addon would certainly not hurt in the future releases)
